[…] Baleen: Please whatever you do don’t miss this restaurant! The food is fantastic and the menu is an eclectic mix of new American Cuisine with a delicious seaside inspired twist. Please whatever you do- try the lobster macaroni and cheese with truffles. I have had dreams that have included this dish! It’s a very romantic setting located right outside the Portofino Hotel and Yacht club and has beautiful views of the marina.
